Bloom Succession – Perennials

Perennial bloom succession is most certainly something to look forward to throughout the growing season!

During the long winter months snuggled up in blankets, wandering mind produces dreams and visions of lush foliage, colourful flowers blooming and trailing vines. In February small signs of spring appear as the day slowly becomes longer only to be shunned as a cold wind hurts my skin. Like vines, these dreams entangle themselves into my cold reality as I long for the warmer days. Yet all the while knowing In my heart that they will come, I begin to plan the succession of blooms in my garden.

Luckily, February is long passed and now at the end of May, each morning I wake to the reality that each day will bring something new on the balcony – the first true leaf of a seedling, a flower, a visiting beetle – there is always something new in the garden. Annuals provide constant flowers on the balcony and new & rapid growth, where perennials offer something different. Not all but many perennials have shorter blooming times and they have there own particular season of bloom.

Perennials also are for the patient gardener since many of them do not flower until the 2nd year. When they do it is spectacular, to say the least. Of course, any flower, in my opinion, is wonderous and beautiful. Usually, the third year brings such a proliferation of blooms and foliage that usually at the end of the season or the beginning of the 4th year they can be divided to create even more plants and blooms.

So even though February is cold and my patience becomes thinner, it gives me something to look forward to. In the same way, you too, when planting 1 or 2 perennials on the following list will give you something to look forward to throughout the gardening season. Here is the complete list that was prepared by the by the Council on the Environment of New York City which like Cluj it is in zones 5/6. By the way, of course, there are others that are quite successful but this is a great list to start from.

I would add many other varieties of coreopsis for certain, what about you? Which perennial might you add to this list? Please comment below.

This practical guide demands that you don’t merely think about gratitude but do it too. Chapters are divided into two parts; think and do. The ‘think it’ part includes stories and sometimes facts for contemplation and the ‘do it’ part at the end of each chapter includes actionable steps to take and explore gratitude.

Thoughts, musings, and ruminations on life on earth and in other dimensions. Because…you are your own guru!

There are many paths to your truth. You always get to where you need to go, since all paths eventually converge no matter which one you take. This publication’s goal is here to help you find the tools you need on your journey. Share articles about life – our hopes, our dreams, our truths and their consequences. Your journey is yours alone. We all have choices as creators and we hope that your journey is the one that you choose for yourself. Welcome and Happy travels!
